In Miss Palmer’s collection there is a specimen from the 
Clova mountains labelled Phleuwm Michelii which is a form of 
Alopecurus alpinus, but as Phleum Michelii is labelled A. 
alpinus we may assume that Lady Aylesford accidentally

1808 on the Clova mountains, but rare. The specimens are, I 
think, from his garden, for they are 24 inches high.

valley called Glen Kella, among the Grampians of Forfarshire. 
n the same excursion the late Mr. Don collected specimens 
and plants of what he took to be a new species of Melica allied 
to M. cerulea which he called M. alpina. Mr. Lindley has also 
regarded it as a species, and named it Molinia depauperata.”
